Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for the direct retrieval of hierarchical data from an SAP system. The apparatus includes an input module, a table hierarchy module, a query builder module, a query execution module, and a response builder module. The input module receives a table business object comprising a query criteria. The table hierarchy module determines a table hierarchy associated with the table business object. The query builder module builds a native SAP query based on the table hierarchy and the query criteria. The query execution module executes the native SAP query directly on an SAP database. The response builder module returns results of the native SAP query.
